The perfect proof Of what we have been
teaching with regard TO the policy OF
dsceiving first and bulldozing when that
would not succeed in e~fIecting the pur-
poses Of ring rule. When the Democrats
of Virginia recognized the fact a few
wears & that members Of their party
had been led off by Malone with prom
ises Of reforming Bourbon rule. until
at last they found themselves under the
personal tyranny of a man whose law
was "obey or walk the plank, then it
was that a moment Of inspiration gave
the people of Virginia a %shibboleth in
the words. This way freemen. II Is
inevitably the same story whenever Ma
hone and his miniOns get a hand on the
political power. Promises, threats, black
mail, ever the abuse Of religion 70 terror
ize the negroes-all of these are the
weapons of the Malone party, and their
supplementary cohorts quickly learn the
piratical tricks.
The words we quoted gave the cue to
thousands of men TO leave the pirate
crew before it was too late. There still
remain in the crew the original leaders
but stranded and " m%arooned are many
sad examples of the folly of taking coun-
sci from spite OF passion.
The /" Reformers' are only under an
other one Of Mahone's masks, Readjuster
coalition, and at last Republican.
The vote in the primary yesterday in
dictates that the Democrats of Richmond
will poll a full vote, and that means that
the Reformers are recognized and had

Anciently BARRIERS performed minor opera
tons in surgery, particularly when bleeding
wss performed To assist this operation the
patient used e grasp a staff or pole which
was always kept uy the barber-surgeon. To
this staff WAS tied a tape which was used IN
nandaging the PATIENTS arm. When lot ih

duties performed inside. Later the Identical
staff or pole wa not 20 used, but instead a
stick painted 10 represent the pole was left in

AN ExpLANATION-PARTLS rKR-
SONAG.

The TIMES reporters on WEDNESDAY
failed to report a piece of news to which
the public was entitled, and though the
general impression of the character OF
the average reporter is that he is a vice
president of a temperance society or o
teacher in a Sunday school, it is a fact
that some of them are worldly-minded
and add to the opportunities Of many
various occurring temptations the moral
f~alacies that result from the habit OF
intellectual contemplation in the
broad field Of philosophy and OIL
tics. 1t was a motive inVoiVeu
